  1. At least the BBC recognise the reality of the situation in Oz.

    From the BBC Sport RU article:

    "Now it's the Brumbies' turn to have a crack at them. Given rugby league's State of Origin decider is on at the same time, the match will exist in a parallel Australian universe."

    Ideally, the ref's mic would be low to the point where it is barely audible.  

    Only about 10% of what he says is relevant to the TV viewer, but I feel we need to hear:  
    When the ref specifically calls a player out as offside, so he can opt out of a tackle to avoid the penalty
     

     

    As an aside, I've often wondered about referees doing this...

    Just imagine England v Australia. Australia winning by one point, one minute on the clock and the referee, in front of the sticks,20m from the Australian tryline, warns an Australian player that he is offside, he opts out of a tackle and avoids a penalty.

    Or.......referee keeps quiet. Is he really responsible for 'coaching' players ? Player gets called offside due to his indiscipline, penalty given in front of the sticks, England win by a point.

    Just a thought....

    My Mistake, was meant to quote @graveyard johnny about Herbie Farnworth.

    Yeah, but apart from the tackle breaks, the post contact metres, the offloads, the run metres, the 93% tackle efficiency rate, the try assists and the odd try here and there... .........is he all that really ??¿?? 😉

    He would starting for Australia and one of the stars, come on mate. He is the best outside back in the world.

    Is 195 metres, 7 tackle breaks not good enough for you. A try a assist and a try saver as well.

    He’s first in the NRL for tacklebreaks with 62, 4th in offloads with 24. 4th in run metres with 1654, he is a joke and one of the best players on the planet.

     

    Who ?? You are replying to a post about Ryan Hall……

  5. Whilst watching the documentary, when there was a presentation before the Challenge Cup final, they had all the flags there of the players heritage. I noticed the Welsh flag. It was there again in the Wigan dressing room.  Now I believe that Harry Smith is Welsh qualified but I don't think that he has ever expressed a desire to represent Wales. Strange that the flag was present. Unless there is someone else who is Welsh, or Harry has decided to embrace his Welshness. Anyone know?

    They had the same restrictions during game time I seem to remember, you couldn't take drink to your seat.

    A Steward tried this on with me, saying we couldn’t take alcohol to our seats. Pointed out that The Sporting Events (control of alcohol Act) only applied to football matches……”OK, fair enough on you go” was the reply.

    The Act applies to the following sporting events:

    • Association football matches in which one or both of the participating teams represents a club which is for the time being a member (whether a full or associate member) of the Football League, the Football Association Premier League, the Football Conference National Division, the Scottish Football League or Welsh Premier League, or represents a country or territory.
    • Association football matches in competition the Football association Cup (other than in the preliminary or qualifying round).

    The Act only applies in England and Wales.
